*''Japanese'': 沖縄絵画同好会 ''(Okinawa kaiga dôkôkai)''
The ''Okinawa kaiga dôkôkai'' was a subscription-style Okinawan painting association. Members paid membership fees which were pooled to send paintings to members. The association was supported by [[Narahara Shigeru]] and other [[Okinawa prefecture|Okinawa prefectural]] officials, as well as by a number of [[Nihonga]] painters. No Okinawans were listed among the key supporters; it seems to have been a group aimed at Japanese membership, but played a notable role in inspiring and influencing Okinawan painters such as [[Higa Seisei]].
The group was founded in part because of a belief on the part of Narahara and others that while assimilation policies were important for national unity, they were damaging to Okinawan heritage and so there was a need to record Okinawan traditions before they were lost.
